Regarding the story "Judging Science" (C&EN, Feb. 27, page 36), the use of special masters to serve as technical experts to a court is time-honored under the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (FRCP 74). I had the honor of serving as special master in USA v. Hardage, a toxic-tort litigation some years ago. I was not competing with the parties' experts; rather, I was an officer of the court who was considered knowledgeable or expert in relevant areas and endeavored to ask appropriate questions to expedite discovery. It seemed to work.

June 5, page 33: Allovectin-7 was incorrectly identified as a plasma-lipid complex. It is a plasmid-lipid complex.
